The Senior Perception Engineer role at NVIDIA focuses on designing and productizing the next-generation autonomous driving perception stack. The position involves working on the core 3D obstacle perception pipeline and contributing to architecture and algorithm design. Candidates will engage in hands-on implementation using modern techniques like transformer-based and multi-modal approaches. This role is critical in ensuring the development of efficient and robust perception solutions for autonomous driving functionalities.

• PhD with 4+ years, MS with 6+ years, or BS with 8+ years of relevant experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Hands-on experience developing deep learning-based perception or closely related systems for complex real-world problems.
• Strong proficiency in frameworks such as PyTorch and a track record of taking models from prototype to production.
• Proven experience in data-driven development, including collaboration with data, labeling, and ground-truth teams.
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++ with experience in building reliable, high-performance software.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

• Develop and improve the technical design, architecture, and roadmap for 3D obstacle perception.
• Design and implement advanced 3D perception models using multi-camera inputs and/or multi-sensor fusion.
• Build efficient, production-grade deep learning models and follow best practices for training and evaluation.
• Help define and maintain KPI frameworks to quantify perception performance and analyze datasets.
• Contribute to the data strategy for perception, specifying data and labeling requirements.
• Collaborate with safety, systems, and software teams to ensure perception solutions meet product requirements.

• Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
